Chapter 458: Rare is Expensive
Pengda Carnival is cancelled!
However, most of the "6th anniversary limited" toys that were previously produced were stored in warehouses, except for a small number of them.
That's a lot!
Every year, the PD carnival is a period of sales explosion. In preparation for this year's carnival, PD Toys has stocked more than 1 million copies.
Can so many goods be considered limited?
Don't get me wrong, this includes yoyos, spinning tops, Transformers, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider. And under each of these categories, there are many sub-categories.
All of them add up, and there are only 1 million.
To be honest, this amount is not high. According to the sales figures of previous years, the total shipments during the carnival will not be less than five million copies. Stocking up on a million can only cope with the first wave of panic buying.
But there was an accident this year.
A large backlog of goods has brought serious pressure on Pengda to collect payments. In order to stimulate sales, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, Meng Lang announced a resolution.
"In order to save warehouse space, most of the products in this batch will be destroyed and only some products will be retained. โ
This trick is too ruthless!
In "Zodiac", someone takes a picture of four out-of-print stamps and tears off three on the spot to increase the value of the last one. It just so happens that Meng Lang also understands the truth of "scarcity is precious".
At this juncture, everyone is clenching their wallets, and it is very difficult to sell goods to a million people. Wouldn't it be simpler to destroy most of the increased value of the commodity and then sell it to 10,000 or a thousand rich people?
Not to mention, it works!
When the destruction process was carried out, only 10,000 pieces remained in the so-called "six-year anniversary limit".
Attention, this is the total amount!
Refined to small categories, the quantity is extremely rare. For example, the "6th Anniversary SHF Limited Ace", after the destruction, there were only 5 copies left, and the price increased N times but was still snatched up.
After the PD Mall opened for purchase, 10,000 copies of the "6th Anniversary Limited" set were sold out in just 10 minutes.
Even though, the price has multiplied N times!
When the statistics came out, Meng Lang could clearly hear that Ma Teng's voice trembled.
"Mr. Meng, we didn't lose!"
1 million copies of toys, all sold at the original price, is expected to create a net profit of 150 million yuan for PD. After destroying 990,000 copies, the profit became 141 million!
Humanใฎ confused behavior?
This is not the end, the average price of toys with an average price of 150 yuan was sold at an average price of 10,000 yuan, and Meng Lang already felt that it was outrageous.
Unexpectedly, some ultra-rare goods, such as the 6th anniversary limited alienated girl Sakura (maid outfit) action figure, because the number of destroyed is only 3, someone in the PD flea market put up a purchase price of 50,000.
Crazy, really crazy!
The second-hand market, which is even more terrifying than the official mall, refreshes the offer all the time. It seems that every PD member has become a scalper.
A familiar scene!
Shoe speculation next door to fry tickets, and now even toys are fried. Seeing this chaos, Meng Lang was speechless.
"Those who make toys have dirty hearts!"
Director Tao sighed: "What do you say these people are thinking? Just that broken plastic villain is worth so much money?"
"You don't understand ......"
Meng Lang was too lazy to explain to a bad old man, and he couldn't understand it anyway. After beckoning Director Tao to sit down, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for you!"
Director Tao took a sip of tea and said, "Where's Mimi, why didn't you see her?"
"I guess it's in the toilet!"
Meng Romance said casually: "What can't you say on the phone, you have to come to my house?"
"I can't tell you on the phone!"
"Xiao Meng, your father told me ......"
Director Tao said with a heavy heart: "I guess you also know the situation on his side." Although there is nothing unusual now, I can't say that one day the people will be gone. โ
"I understand. โ
"He told me that he couldn't worry about your mother and son. Especially you, at such an age, you still look like a child. โ
Is this positive or negative?
The evaluation from his father made Meng Lang cry and laugh. He admits that he does do things a little childishly, but it is a necessary disguise to lower the vigilance of his opponents.
Of course, this cannot be said.
Director Tao continued: "As early as last summer, your parents talked to me. As for you and Mimi, I don't even say it, I have to talk to her parents. โ
"Wait!"
Meng Lang was surprised: "What are you talking about?
"Huh, don't you know?"
Director Tao was also shocked, blinked and said, "I thought it was because you were thin-skinned and embarrassed to speak, so you let your parents come forward......
What is this?
Jiangchuan Xiaobawang, whose skin is as thick as a bend in the city wall, how could he do such a thing?
Through Director Tao's narration, Meng Lang finally figured out the reason for his visit today.
It turned out that Lao Meng and his wife hid from Meng Lang and had a secret conversation with Director Tao last summer. Subsequently, Director Tao's lover led Lao Meng and his wife to visit Tao Mi's parents.
The results of the visit did not go well!
According to Director Tao, Tao Mi's parents were very opposed to this matter, and even wanted Tao Mi to quit the entertainment industry. But after consulting Tao Mi himself, they suddenly gave up.
It wasn't until Tao Mi lived in Meng's house during the carnival that Lao Meng, who felt that his "life was short", mentioned this matter again.
This time it went much smoother.
Director Tao came this time mainly to convey the opinions of Tao Mi's parents.
"It's okay to get engaged first, and it's not too late to get married after graduation. Anyway, it's a formality, and your dad agreed. โ
"I ......"
Meng Lang felt like he was in a dream, and said incoherently: "This is decided?
"Your opinion?"
Director Tao smiled dumbly and said, "What can you say? This is something that your parents took the initiative to mention, who would have thought that you didn't know?"
"It's not going to be the whole thing, I'm just being kept in the dark, right?" Meng Lang said sluggishly.
"Congratulations, you got it right!"
Director Tao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's time to get down to business after talking about private matters." How is the post-production of Taylor, and when will it be completed?"
"I'm a little messy now, you let me take care of it first!"
"Okay, I'll go back first. โ
Director Tao stood up and said, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I can only leave you three days. After three days, you can only schedule the Lantern Festival. โ
"The first day of the new year?"
Meng Lang woke up in an instant, frowned, and said, "Three days is a bit rushed, I don't dare to guarantee it." You give me five days to make sure it's done. โ
The twenty-fifth day of the lunar month?
Director Tao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes! Remember to be careful in publicity, Tailuo's ratings are likely to explode!"
"Not a possibility, but a certainty!"
The time and place are favorable, and Taylor, who occupies such a big advantage, will have almost 100% ratings.
It's not a big problem to surpass Ace, even if it's Jack, maybe he can be overturned by Taylor. The only question is, will Taylor be able to recreate the glory of the original generation?
After all, the advantage is so great......
